Fixed Retrying the level with the elemental shield keeps the effects.

[SteelT]

Having the elemental shield then restarting the level keeps the shield abilities, but not the actual sprites for the shield. Allowing you not to drown and have fire trail, until you get hit.

Edit:This happens on every shield which gives you the abilities.

are you sure you have 2.1.8? i just tested this myself on it doesnt seem to be working.

 

[SteelT]

Yes, I have 2.1.8. I was testing this in Mystic Realm also. So maybe that has to do with it?

 

[Monster Iestyn]

Does it happen in a completely unmodified game of SRB2?

Spoiler

Also, Mystic Realm hasn't been officially ported yet, lol

 

[SteelT]

Apparently it does not happen on a unmodified game.

...turns out the real issue is to do with NoReload = 1 set in level headers, which I recall Mystic Realm had for its levels. Apparently shields stay on the player when the map is reset. So this isn't even limited to Mystic Realm at all.

 

[Sryder]

Adding onto this, I recall the tails bot not reappearing when you respawn on a level with noreload set.

 

[Monster Iestyn]

It's an even more serious issue than I thought: all player powers are kept over with NoReload turned on. The players are never properly refreshed on map "reload".

No worries, I've got this, I just need a chance to test the fix out. =P

Both the issue behind the original elemental shield problem and the other issue Sryder13 mentioned are now fixed. Rejoice!
